 ALBUQUERQUE. May 6.-Cumbero me sl, seventy miles west of Albuquerque
 on the Atlantic < Pacific, is rugged | upland occupied by countless fiocks of sheep which are csred for by herders | who follow their tiocks day and night. On Tuesday Cuperto Gonzales, a large | sheep raiser, rode over the range to in- | spec: the hOcks. Reaching ths mesa ! at 3:l0 D. m., he climbed to the top of high rock to scan tbe country in search ! of his harders. At that moment the sky
 became overcast, low rumbling sound
 seemed to approach from the southwest
 and then a slight trembling shook the rock upon which he was perched, fol- lowed immediately by a loud report and several shocks which made the | rock tO sway to and fro like the mast of a ship at sea. He was overcome by | R deathly sickness which almost caused | him tO fall from the rock. Recovering | himself he started down by the path be ! had climbed, but found the rock had ! been rent ID twain, leaving Assure ten | feet wide which accounted for the report | he had heard. He managed to regain | the ground and remounting his horse he | rode rapidly in search of his herders. | He found some of the sheep scattered Bn3 bleating with fright, but no herd | CTS in sight. A short distance luther on | he was horrified by finding one of the men stretched upon the ground dead. | He instituted search for the other two and found them a mile away. both dead. | Their bodies bore no marks of violence or injury of any kind, and they were ! scarcely cold, the tieIibility of their bod | ies indicating that death had overtaken ! them all within the time Gonzales had been on the mesa. The only plausible ' theory that could be formed as to the ! cause Ot their death was that of extreme | fright caused by the terrible oonvul- sion of the clements which be himself | had witnessed had killed the men at the same moment. The expression of theIr | features which bore an impression of | fright and terror, sustained this tbeO- ! ", and 1t IS believed that the three herd | ers were the only human victims of the
 great southwestern earthquake.
